TechCrunch talked with Facebook about the new Facebook Places functionality and was wondering why it’s not available to everyone yet. Basically, Facebook stated that the functionality is going to be rolled out slowly over the next day or two to make sure the Facebook servers can handle to new bandwidth load that will generated from mobile devices. This is why some people are seeing Facebook Places available just yet. Others may see the Places icon on your iPhone app, but “Check In” is not yet available because the feature hasn’t fully rolled out. So be patient, you’ll be able to check out Facebook Places, and start checking in your location and sharing with friends, soon enough.
